Some suspended flights operated by China Eastern Airlines have led to discontent and criticism among passengers.

The Beijing News reports that fourteen flights taking off from Kunming, the capital of South-western China's Yunnan province, failed to land at the destination airports.

The article cites an official with China Eastern as saying that the incident is due to weather conditions. However, this explanation did not satisfy the passengers, because flights operated by other airlines all successfully landed at the airports of those fourteen flights' destinations.

Rumor has it that the authorities of China Eastern and its pilots have a conflict on the issue of salary. The pilots of those suspended flights might have created the incident to make a point.

With regard to this, the article suggests that the Civil Aviation Administration of China, the civil aviation watchdog, should take steps to investigate the incident and find out the truth.

The article stresses that no matter what happened inside China Eastern, passengers' rights should not be violated. They are entitled to economic compensations for their loss.

In conclusion, the article says that CAAC should take the opportunity to regulate the aviation market in a bid to better serve the passengers.
